Marja-Zohra

Zohra

you wil find the orignal tutorial here

This tutorial is a personal creation. 
Marja works with PSP12
I work with PSP20 Ultimate
but you can follow this tutorial with any other version of PSP

Any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify images, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Marja’s work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation
And I’ll fix the problem as soon as I can

Supplies
you can download the supplies on Marja’s original tutorial ( multicolored button named « materialen »)

or HERE
Place the supplies and selections into the dedicated folders of  « Corel PSP » general folder
double click on the preset (if any) to install
open the mask(s) (if any) and minimize to tray
masks were created by Narah https://narahsdesigns.blogspot.com/p/mascaras.html 
Main tube was create by Renée Graphisme https://www.reneegraphisme.fr/ 

save your work often in case of problems with your psp
don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes

Hints and Tips
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » has become  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
